Actually, I realized later, when looking at my pictures at home, that I had missed another fly, probably the male of this same species, which shows as a very out-of-focus ghost on some photographs - just enough to give me heart-ache about it!

But the picture was much too blurred to be useful. Yet, the shape and colours are consistent with the ID. Philippe A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact. |
